Will not go over 5mph but it wants to die out. Max rpm is 2000(even at almost wide open)then it bogs down to around 500 rpms then back to normal idle.
It's not missing at all.
I went to Lowe's yesterday it was fine. Left the store stopped at a red light and it took off as usual but on the entrance ramp it started to bog down. I barely got it on the shoulder. Service Engien Soon light was on.
Got it home and after some reading I decided to replace the TPS. Remove the battery cables, removed the TB, swapped the sensor out, replaced everything, put the positive on but not negative to reset it. Waited 45 minutes. No change.
Today I remove the blue cap and checked to see if it was getting enough fuel. I do not have a gauge but I'd find it hard to believe that what was there wasn't enough.
There is a rattle but my ears are not good and I cannot pinpoint it. I can hear it while under the hood with the engine running or from the driver's seat with the door open.
I ordered a Blue Drive scanner on Amazon last night and it got here today. No codes except the P1000.
I've found videos, threads, and other sites that say timing chain, clogged cat, O2 sensors, and a bad pcm.
Plugs, wires, coil pack, fuel filter all done within the last 12 months.
I'm not a mechanic really and 85% of what I have learned has come from this forum so I can't offer much.
Can a dealer pull codes that my scanner cannot see and find out whay that SES light was for?
I can take screen shots of whatever data my scanner can provide if that'd help.
